Glendale @ Mesa, Michael Lorenzen (Reds) vs. Sammy Solis (Nationals)
Surprise @ Peoria, Eduardo Rodriguez (Orioles) v. Matt Heidenreich (Astros)
Salt River @ Scottsdale,Grayson Garvin (Rays) v Aaron Northcraft (Braves)

It is a big day for the Pirates today in Game Five of the NLDS, but it was a good day for Pirates prospects last night as well, with starter Jameson Taillon and shortstop Alen Hanson leading the Scottsdale Scorpion to a 6-5 win over Salt River. Taillon fanned three in two innings, while Hanson scored the winning run in the ninth inning.

Four home runs were hit in AFL games yesterday, by Rockies prospect Kyle Parker, Nationals prospect Matt Skole, Brewers prospect Mitch Haniger, and Royals prospect Cheslor Cuthbert.
